Ingredients

2

potatoes

400 g

salt [optional]

Method

Cut the potatoes into large chunks or leave them whole. Put in a pot, cover with cold water, then bring to a boil. Add salt (about 1 teaspoon of salt for one litre of water). Cover, then reduce the heat to keep the water boiling at a minimum. Whole potatoes will cook in about 20 min; potatoes cut into chunks will do in 10 to 15 min.
